OT – Wineaux’s rejoice

[barnaby33]

Yes actually I have, though I don’t have the time right now. If I ever had a place with a bit of land I would try it. I made beer for a long time, which is easier to do in a city environment, especially in extract form.

I once went to help another home vintner bottle his wine and found out that the hardest part for a small timer is getting decent grapes. Most growers don’t want to sell you a half a ton to make 1 barrel.

As to Dube wines, there seems to be a real niche out there for small start-ups in SD (wineries). I’ve read and seen several articles about other small operations in Escondido.

Josh,
I am building a terraced varietal food garden about an acre in size and am thinking of grapes in the middle third….potential for 2 tons perhaps. I’ll probably find a hobbiest or a few parties to take over, or mostly take over the wine making… thinking shared hobby not profit. There is still a lot of research to do but once I
learn the proper trellising and spacing, I’ll start the infrastructure.It could still turn out that a different location then what we are thinking would be better. I have several acres each of west, south and east facing slopes all with 5-15% inclines. The west slopes have ocean breezes.

If you plan on sticking around San Diego and are interested in something like this let me know.

Any recommendations for reds under $20 / bottle?

While you can get great prices on French 1st growth, I am very interested in bang for buck reds.

Thanks
